other such affiliated company, as applicable. 
 4. Compensation. 
 (a) Salary. Subject to the provisions of Agreement paragraphs 6 and 7, the Company shall pay Executive, as
compensation for serving as the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company, an initial Base Salary of $225,000 per year; such initial Base Salary, or any increased Base Salary, shall be payable in substantially equal
installments in accordance with the Company’s normal pay practices, but not less frequently than monthly. Executive’s Base Salary and any Incentive Compensation (as defined in Agreement paragraph 4(b)) shall be reviewed and approved at
least annually by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), in consultation with the Compensation Committee. The CEO may adjust the Executive’s Base Salary to reflect Executive’s performance
with the approval of the Compensation Committee. 
 (b) Incentive Compensation. During the term of
Executive’s employment under this Agreement, subject to any approval required by applicable laws and governing regulatory agencies or authorities, and in addition to Executive’s Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to receive such
additional Incentive Compensation as may be awarded from time to time, by the 
  

 -4- 








 CEO in his discretion with the approval of the Compensation Committee. It is understood that
any such Incentive Compensation to be awarded to Executive shall be based on the Company’s attainment of certain performance goals established by the CEO. During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the CEO will establish target performance
criteria to determine the amount of Executive’s Incentive Compensation for that fiscal year. Upon Executive’s achievement of any performance goals which the Company’s board of directors may have established in consultation with the
Compensation Committee, Executive shall be eligible to receive annual Incentive Compensation, provided that, to the extent the Bank’s asset quality, management, liquidity or interest rate sensitivity of such bank shall not be “less than
satisfactory.” The board of directors of the Bank will, in its sole discretion, determine whether the asset quality, management, liquidity or interest rate sensitivity of such bank is “less than satisfactory.” Any Incentive
Compensation earned by Executive shall be paid on or before the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Incentive Compensation is earned. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, any increase to Executive’s Base Salary and any Incentive Compensation paid to Executive shall be (i) in compliance with applicable regulations, pronouncements, directives, or orders issued or promulgated by any
governing regulatory agency or authority and with any agreements by and between the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank and such regulatory agencies or authorities, (ii) consistent with the safe and sound operation of the Bank, and
(iii) closely monitored by the CEO and the Compensation Committee. 
 (c) Intentionally Omitted

 (d) Stock Option Grant. As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Executive shall be granted the option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms of Xenith Corporation’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, as soon as practicable after the Bank shall have attained
“annual profitability,” Executive shall be granted the option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Bank Holding Company’s common stock, provided that such annual profitability shall have been attained on or before the third anniversary of
the Effective Time of this Agreement and provided further that such option shall be subject to the terms contained in the Bank Holding Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). For purposes of this Agreement paragraph
4(d), “annual profitability” shall have been attained in that month in which the Bank Holding Company shall have achieved pre-tax profitability in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) after
giving effect to the costs of all options granted as provided for under SFAS 123R during the trailing twelve (12) months, as determined by its board of directors. All stock options to be granted under this Agreement paragraph 4(d) shall
(i) be granted at a price determined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the Plan, (ii) vest in three (3) equal installments on each anniversary of the date that the merger contemplated by the Agreement of Merger, dated

Executive for all reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his obligations and duties under this Agreement, as provided in the Company’ policies and procedures, in effect from time to time. In addition,
the Company believes that its best interests will be more fully served if Executive maintains active membership in appropriate professional associations. Accordingly, upon prior approval of the CEO, the 
  

 -5- 








 Company shall also reimburse Executive for the reasonable dues and business-related
expenditures associated with Executive’s membership(s) in such professional organizations as the CEO determines are appropriate and commensurate with Executive’s position. The Company shall also pay or reimburse Executive for all
reasonable business-related expenses, including entertainment, at social clubs of which Executive may be a member, but Executive shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement of membership dues or monthly minimums imposed by any such social
clubs. Any reimbursement of such expenses shall be made by the time period required by the Company’s regular policies and procedures in effect at the time the Executive incurs the reimbursable expense but not later than the last day of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the expense. 
 5. Participation in Benefit Plans.

 (a) Incentive, Savings, and Retirement Plans. During the term of Executive’s employment under this
Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, stock option, stock appreciation, restricted stock, savings, and retirement plans, practices, policies, and programs adopted by the Company’s board of directors to the
extent applicable generally to senior executive officers of the Company, on the same basis as such other senior executive officers, unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of such plans.

Committee. 
 (iii) In addition to paid vacations under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled, without loss
of pay, to be voluntarily absent from work under this Agreement for such additional periods of time and for such valid and legitimate reasons as the board of directors of the Company may in its discretion approve in consultation with the
Compensation Committee. It is also provided that the board of directors of the Company may grant to Executive a leave or leaves of absence, with or without pay, at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors of

 6. Benefits
Payable Upon Disability. 
 (a) Disability Benefits. In the event of the Disability of Executive,
Executive shall be placed on a paid leave of absence and the Company shall continue to pay Executive 100% of Executive’s then current Base Salary pursuant to paragraph 4(a) during the first twelve (12) months of a substantially continuous
period of Disability. It is provided, however, that in the event Executive is disabled for a substantially continuous period exceeding twelve (12) months, the Company may, at its election, terminate this Agreement, in which event payment of
Executive’s Base Salary shall cease. 
 (b) Disability Benefit Offset. Any amounts payable under
Agreement paragraph 6(a) shall be reduced by any amounts paid to Executive under any other disability program or policy of insurance maintained by the Company. 
 7. Payments to Executive Upon Termination of Employment. The CEO, with the approval of the Company’s board of directors, may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any
time, but any termination other than Termination for Cause shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment under this Agreement. The rights and
obligations of the Company and Executive in the event of employment termination are set forth in this Agreement paragraph 7 as follows: 
 (a) Termination for Cause. Executive shall have no right to compensation or other benefits (except for vested benefits under any employee benefit plan) for any period after a Termination for Cause.
For purposes of this Agreement, Termination for Cause shall be determined by the CEO, in the reasonable exercise of his discretion and acting in good faith, in accordance with this sub-paragraph and subject to the approval of the Company’s
board of directors. Termination for Cause is a termination of Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s personal dishonesty, willful or reckless misconduct, willful or reckless breach of fiduciary duties; intentional failure to
perform stated duties; willful or reckless violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), or a final cease-and-desist order or other formal administrative action entered into by or imposed on the
Company; the regulatory suspension or removal of Executive as defined in Agreement paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b); Executive’s failure to follow reasonable written instructions of the CEO or the board of directors of the Company; or Executive’s
material breach of any provision of this Agreement. The termination of Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to be a Termination for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted in
good faith by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the membership of the Company’s board of directors (other than Executive and any other employees who serve on such board of directors) at a meeting of such board called and held
for such purpose (after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such meeting and Executive’s alleged improper conduct is provided to Executive and Executive is given an opportunity to be heard before such board), finding that, in
the good faith opinion of such board of directors, Executive is guilty of the conduct described as Termination for Cause and specifying in reasonable detail the grounds for its decision, and further that the specified conduct remains uncured or, in
the case of a suspension, removal or formal administrative action, was not capable of cure. The CEO, in his discretion, with the approval of the Company’s board of directors, may suspend Executive, with pay, for all or any portion of the period
of time from the delivery of the notice described in this Agreement paragraph 7(a) until the effective time of the Termination for Cause.

 (b) Event of Termination Without Change of
Control. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, other than in connection with a Change of Control as provided in Agreement paragraph 7(c), the Company shall pay to Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, to his designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries, or to his estate, as the case may be, as liquidated damages, in lieu of all other claims, a severance payment equal to Executive’s Total Compensation (defined in this Agreement as the sum of (i) any Incentive
Compensation paid to Executive during the twelve (12) months preceding termination of employment under this Agreement plus (ii) the greater of one year of the then current Base Salary or the then current Base Salary which would have been
payable over the remaining balance of the Initial Employment Term. Subject to the provisions in Agreement paragraph 7(e), the then current Base Salary component of said severance payment shall be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments
beginning thirty (30) days following the Event of Termination and any Incentive Compensation component of such severance payment shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the Event of Termination. In addition, all outstanding options to purchase common
stock of the Company or the Bank Holding Company, as applicable, granted under this Agreement shall become 100% vested in accordance with Agreement paragraph 4(d). In addition, during the period that Executive and his eligible dependents are
entitled to continued health plan coverage under Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse Executive, on a monthly basis, the amount paid by Executive for the COBRA health plan coverage of Executive and
his eligible dependents. If Executive’s right to COBRA health plan coverage ends before the second anniversary of the Event of Termination, then the Company shall make a cash payment to Executive, on a monthly basis, equal to the COBRA premium
for the type and level of coverage provided to Executive and his eligible dependents immediately before the cessation of COBRA coverage. The monthly cash payment shall be payable during the period beginning with the month following the termination
of Executive’s COBRA coverage and ending with the twenty-fourth (24th) month following the Event of Termination. The Company’s obligation to provide the severance payments, reimbursement of COBRA premiums and other payments described in this Agreement paragraph
7(b) is subject to the condition that Executive shall execute a full release and waiver (substantially similar to the Release and Waiver attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part of this Agreement) of all known or
unknown claims or causes of action Executive has, had, or may have against the Company, the Bank Holding Company, the Bank and their affiliates. The execution of the Release and Waiver is a precondition to the receipt of the severance payment
described in this Agreement paragraph 7(b). The Release and Waiver shall be provided to the Executive on or before the Event of Termination and shall be executed and returned to the Company within twenty-five (25) days after the Release and
Waiver is provided to the Executive. 
 (c) Event of Termination or Termination for Good Reason in Connection
With a Change of Control. If, during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement and within one year immediately following a Change of Control or within six months immediately prior to such Change of Control, Executive’s
employment with the Company under this Agreement is terminated by an Event of Termination or a Termination for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, to his designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries, or to his estate, as the case may be, as liquidated damages, in lieu of all other claims, a severance payment (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to 2 times Executive’s Total Compensation. Subject to the provisions in
Agreement paragraph 7(e), the then current Base Salary component of such severance payment shall be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments beginning thirty (30) days following the Event of Termination, and any

with Agreement paragraph 4(d). In addition, during the period that Executive and his eligible dependents are entitled to continued health plan coverage under COBRA, the Company shall reimburse Executive, on a monthly basis, the amount paid by
Executive for the COBRA health plan coverage of Executive and his eligible dependents. If Executive’s right to COBRA health plan coverage ends before second anniversary of the Event of Termination, then the Company shall make a cash payment to
Executive, on a monthly basis, equal to the COBRA premium for the type and level of coverage provided to Executive and his eligible dependents immediately before the cessation of COBRA coverage. The monthly cash payment shall be payable during the
period beginning with the month following the termination of Executive’s COBRA coverage and ending with the twenty-fourth (24th) month following the Event of Termination. The Company’s obligation to provide the severance payment,
reimbursement of COBRA premiums and other payments described in this Agreement paragraph 7(c) is subject to the condition that Executive shall execute a full release and waiver (substantially similar to the Release and Waiver attached hereto as

precondition to the receipt of the severance payment described in this Agreement paragraph 7(c). The Release and Waiver shall be provided to Executive on or before the Event of Termination and shall be executed and returned to the Company within
twenty-five (25) days after the Release and Waiver is provided to Executive. 
 (d)
Termination for Good Reason. If, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company under this Agreement is terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination for Good Reason event, other than in connection with a Change of Control
as provided in Agreement paragraph 7(c), then the Company shall pay to Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, as liquidated damages, in lieu of all other
claims, a severance payment equal to 2 times Executive’s Total Compensation paid to Executive. Subject to the provisions in Agreement paragraph 7(e), the then current Base Salary component of such severance payment shall be paid in twelve
(12) equal monthly installments beginning thirty (30) days following the date of such termination and any Incentive Compensation component of such severance payment shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of such termination. In addition, all

and his eligible dependents are entitled to continued health plan coverage under COBRA, the Company shall reimburse Executive, on a monthly basis, the amount paid by Executive for the COBRA health plan coverage of Executive and his eligible
dependents. If Executive’s right to COBRA health plan coverage ends before second anniversary of the Event of Termination, then the Company shall make a cash payment to Executive, on a monthly basis, equal to the COBRA premium for the type and
level of coverage provided to Executive and his eligible dependents immediately before the cessation of COBRA coverage. The monthly cash payment shall be payable during the period beginning with the month following the termination of
Executive’s COBRA coverage and ending with the twenty-fourth (24th) month following the Event of Termination. The Company’s obligation to provide the severance payment, reimbursement of COBRA premiums and other payments described in this Agreement paragraph
7(d) is subject to the condition that Executive shall execute a full release and waiver (substantially similar to the Release and Waiver attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part of this Agreement) of all known or
unknown claims or 
  

 -9- 








 causes of action Executive has, had, or may have against the Company, the Bank Holding
Company, the Bank and their affiliates. The execution of the Release and Waiver is a precondition to the receipt of the severance payment described in this Agreement paragraph 7(d). The Release and Waiver shall be provided to Executive on or before
the date of such termination and shall be executed and returned to the Company within twenty-five (25) days after the Release and Waiver is provided to Executive. 
 (e) 409A Limits on Payments. Executive and the Company intend for all payments under this Agreement to be either
outside the scope of Section 409A of the Code or to comply with its requirements as to timing of payments. Accordingly, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall at all times be operated in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, as amended, and the regulations and rulings thereunder, including any applicable transition rules (“Section 409A”). To the extent required by Section 409A, payments or benefits under this
Agreement that are to be paid upon Executive’s termination of employment shall be paid to Executive at the time that Executive has experienced a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) from the Company. A
separation from service shall not occur under Section 409A unless Executive has completely severed his employment or contractor relationship with the Company or Executive has permanently decreased his services (via his employment relationship
or his consulting relationship) to 20% or less of the average level of bona fide services over the immediately preceding 36 month period (or the full period if Executive has been providing services for less than 36 months). A leave of absence shall
only trigger a termination of employment that constitutes a separation from service at the time required under Section 409A. The Company shall have authority to take action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to the payments and
benefits under this Agreement that is reasonably necessary to comply with Section 409A. Specifically, the Company shall have the authority to delay the commencement of payments to Executive if Executive is considered a “specified
employee” under Section 409A, but only to the extent such delay is mandated by the provisions of Section 409A. Any payment that is delayed pursuant to this Agreement paragraph 7(e) shall be paid to Executive at the earliest date
permitted under Section 409A; provided, however, if Executive wishes to receive any benefit before the time permitted under Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, Executive shall pay the
full cost of such benefit and the Company shall reimburse Executive for all such costs at the earliest date permitted under Section 409A. Should Executive be assessed any additional income tax, excise tax, penalty or interest as a result of any
payment in violation of Section 409A, the Company shall pay all such assessed taxes resulting from such violation, but shall not pay any taxes assessed against Executive as a result of any payment that would have been due by Executive if no
violation of Section 409A had occurred. 
 (f) 280G Limits on Payments 
 (i) Except as provided below, no payments described herein or under any other agreement, plan or arrangement as to which
Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”) applies shall exceed the amount permitted by that Section. Therefore, with respect to any such payment only, if the aggregate present value (determined as of the date of the Change of
Control in accordance with the provisions of Section 280G or any successor thereof and the regulations and rulings thereunder) of the Parachute Amount would result in an excess parachute payment (as determined under Section 280G), then the
Parachute Amount shall not be greater than an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied by Executive’s base amount (as determined under Section 280G) for the base period (as determined under Section 280G) (the “Capped Amount”).
In the event the Parachute Amount is required to be reduced pursuant to this subparagraph, the payments under this Agreement that are included in the Parachute Amount shall be reduced in the following 
  

 -10- 








 order of priority: (i) first from cash compensation, (ii) next from equity
compensation, then (iii) pro-rata among all remaining payments; provided, however, that payments that are not subject to Section 409A shall be reduced before any payments that are subject to Section 409A are reduced. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (i) above, Executive’s Parachute Amount shall not be limited to the Capped
Amount if it is determined that Executive would receive greater after-tax proceeds from the Parachute Amount (i.e., after Executive’s payment of all taxes imposed on all of the Parachute Amount) than he would if such reduction were made.

 (iii) Should Executive be assessed any excise tax as a result of any payment of the Parachute Amount under
sub-paragraph (i) above (but not under sub-paragraph (ii)), the Company shall pay all such assessed excise taxes, and any income taxes and additional excise taxes resulting from the payment of such excise taxes, but shall pay no other taxes
assessed against Executive as a result of the payment of the Parachute Amount. 
 (iv) The calculation of the
Parachute Amount and Capped Amount and all other determinations relating to the applicability of Section 280G to the payments made to Executive by the Company shall be made by an independent public accounting firm selected and paid for by the
Company. 
 (g) Voluntary Termination of Employment. Executive shall have no right to compensation or
other benefits under this Agreement for any period following the voluntary termination of Executive’s employment, except as provided in Agreement paragraphs 7(c) and 7(d) for a termination for Good Reason. 
 8. Regulatory Suspension. 
 (a) If Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank (as the Company’s successor in interest in accordance with Agreement
paragraph 16(a)) by a notice served under Sections 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of
service of such notice, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Company, subject to any bar or prohibition arising from any applicable law or regulation, shall (i) pay Executive the compensation
withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate in whole or in part any of its obligations which were suspended; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to pay or reinstate as set forth herein
shall not exceed one year of compensation or other obligations, shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation received by Executive from any source during the period of suspension. Vested rights of Executive shall not otherwise be affected.

 (b) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of
the Bank issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but
vested rights of the parties hereto shall not be affected.

 9. Protective Covenants. Executive shall abide by and be bound by the following
Protective Covenants: 
 (a) Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. During Executive’s
employment, the parties acknowledge that the Company shall disclose, or have already disclosed, to Executive for use in Executive’s employment, and that Executive will be provided access to and otherwise make use of, acquire, create, or add to
certain valuable, unique, proprietary, and secret information of the Company, the Bank Holding Company and the Bank (whether tangible or intangible and whether or not electronically kept or stored), including financial statements, drawings, designs,
manuals, business plans, processes, procedures, formulas, inventions, pricing policies, customer and prospect lists and contacts, contracts, sources and identity of vendors and contractors, financial information of customers of the Company, the Bank
Holding Company and the Bank and other proprietary documents, materials, or information indigenous to the Company, the Bank Holding Company and the Bank relating to their respective businesses and activities, or the manner in which the Company, the
Bank Holding Company and the Bank does business, which is valuable to the Company, the Bank Holding Company and the Bank in conducting their business because the information is kept confidential and is not generally known to their competitors or to
the general public (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include information generally known or easily obtained from public sources or public records, unless Executive causes the Confidential Information to
become generally known or easily obtained from public sources or public records. 
 To the extent that the
Confidential Information rises to the level of a trade secret under applicable law, then Executive shall, during Executive’s employment and for so long as the Confidential Information remains a trade secret under applicable law (or for the
maximum period of time otherwise allowed by applicable law) (i) protect and maintain the confidentiality of such trade secrets and (ii) refrain from disclosing, copying, or using any such trade secrets without the Company’s prior
written consent, except as necessary in Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties while employed with the Company. 
 To the extent that the Confidential Information defined above does not rise to the level of a trade secret under applicable law, Executive shall, during Executive’s employment and for a period of one
year following any voluntary or involuntary termination of employment (whether by the Company or Executive), (i) protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and (ii) refrain from disclosing, copying, or using
any Confidential Information without the Company’s prior written consent, except as necessary in Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties while employed with the Company. 
 (b) Return of Property of the Company. Upon any voluntary or involuntary termination of Executive’s employment
(or at any time upon request of the Company), Executive agrees to immediately return to the Company all property of the Company, First Bankshares, Inc. or Suffolk First Bank, (including, without limitation, all documents, electronic files, records,
computer disks or other tangible or intangible things that may or may not relate to or otherwise comprise Confidential Information or trade secrets, as defined by applicable law) that Executive created, used, possessed or maintained while working
for the Company from whatever source and whenever created, including all reproductions or excerpts thereof. This provision does not apply to purely personal documents of Executive, but it does apply to business calendars, Rolodexes, customer lists,
contact sheets, computer programs, disks and their contents and like information that may contain some personal matters of Executive. Executive acknowledges that title to all such property is vested in the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the
Bank, as applicable. 
  

 -12- 








 (c) Non-Diversion of Business Opportunity. During Executive’s
employment with the Company and consistent with Executive’s duties and fiduciary obligations to the Company, Executive shall (i) disclose to the Company any business opportunity that comes to Executive’s attention during
Executive’s employment with the Company and that relates to the business of the Company or otherwise arises as a result of Executive’s employment with the Company and (ii) not take advantage of or otherwise divert any such opportunity
for Executive’s own benefit or that of any other person or entity without prior written consent of the Company. 
 (d) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During Executive’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following any employment termination pursuant to Agreement paragraphs 7(a), (b), (c), (d), or (g), Executive agrees not
to, directly or indirectly, contact, solicit, divert, appropriate, or call upon, with the intent of doing business with, the customers or clients of the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank with whom Executive has had material contact
during the last year of Executive’s employment with the Company, including prospects of the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank with whom Executive had such contact during said last year of Executive’s employment, if the purpose
of such activity is either (i) to solicit such customers or clients or prospective customers or clients for a Competitive Business as herein defined (including, without limitation, any Competitive Business started by Executive) or (ii) to
otherwise encourage any such customer or client to discontinue, reduce, or adversely alter the amount of its business with the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank. Executive acknowledges that, due to Executive’s relationship with the
Company, Executive will develop, or has developed, special contacts and relationships with the Company’s clients and prospects of the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank and that it would be unfair and harmful to the Company if
Executive took advantage of these relationships in a Competitive Business. 
 A “Competitive
Business”, as defined in this Agreement, is an enterprise that is in the business of offering banking products and/or services, which services and/or products are similar or substantially identical to those offered by the Company, the Bank
Holding Company or the Bank during Executive’s employment with the Company. 
 (e) Non-Piracy of
Employees. During Executive’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following any termination pursuant to Agreement paragraphs 7(a), (b), (c), (d), or (g), Executive covenants and agrees that Executive shall not, directly
or indirectly: (i) solicit, recruit, or hire (or attempt to solicit, recruit, or hire) or otherwise assist anyone in soliciting, recruiting, or hiring, any employee or independent contractor (which shall not include non-exclusive outside
vendors) of the Company, the Bank Holding Company and the Bank, or any affiliate of such entities who performed work for the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank, or any such affiliate within the last six (6) months of Executive’s
employment with the Company or any such affiliate or who was otherwise engaged or employed with the Company at the time of said termination of employment of Executive or (ii) otherwise encourage, solicit, or support any such employees or
independent contractors to leave their employment or engagement with the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank, or any such affiliate, in either case until such employee or contractor has been terminated or separated from the Company, the
Bank Holding Company or the Bank, or any such affiliate for at least twelve (12) months. 
 (f)
Non-Compete. During Executive’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following any employment termination pursuant to Agreement paragraphs 7(a), (b), (c), (d), or (g), Executive agrees not to, directly or indirectly,
compete with the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank or any other affiliate of such entities, as an officer, director, member, principal, partner, shareholder (other than a shareholder in a company that is publicly 
  

 -13- 








 traded and so long as such ownership is less than five percent), owner, manager, supervisor,
administrator, employee, consultant, or independent contractor, by working in the Territory (as defined herein) for or as a “Competitive Business” (as defined above) in the Territory (as defined herein), in a capacity identical or
substantially similar to the capacity in which Executive served at the Company. The “Territory” shall be defined as the Commonwealth of Virginia. Executive acknowledges that the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank conducts
its business within the Territory, that Executive will perform services for and on behalf of the Company within the Territory, and that this paragraph 9(f) (and the Territory) is a reasonable limitation on Executive’s ability to compete with
the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank. 
 (g) Acknowledgment. It is understood and agreed by
Executive that the parties have attempted to limit his right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank from unfair competition and that the terms and provisions of this paragraph 9 are not
intended to restrict Executive in the exercise of his skills or the use of knowledge or information that does not rise to the level of a trade secret under applicable law or Confidential Information of the Company (to which trade secrets and
Confidential Information Executive has had and/or will have access and has made and/or will make use of during employment with the Company). 
 It is acknowledged that the purpose of these covenants and promises is (and that they are necessary) to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, to protect the Company’s investment
in the overall development of its business and the good will of its customers, and to protect and retain (and to prevent Executive from unfairly and to the detriment of the Company utilizing or taking advantage of) such business trade secrets and
Confidential Information and those substantial contacts and relationships (including those with customers and employees of the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank) which Executive established due to his employment with the Company.

 This Agreement is not intended to preclude Executive’s opportunity to engage in or otherwise pursue
occupations in any unrelated or non-competitive field of endeavor, or to engage in or otherwise pursue directly competitive endeavors so long as they meet the requirements of this Agreement. Executive represents that his experience and abilities are
such that existence or enforcement of these covenants and promises will not prevent Executive from earning or pursuing an adequate livelihood and will not cause an undue burden to Executive or his family. 
 Executive acknowledges that these covenants and promises (and their respective time, geographic, and/or activity limitations)
are reasonable and that such limitations are no greater than necessary to protect said legitimate business interests in light of Executive’s position with the Company and the business of the Company, the Bank Holding Company or the Bank and
Executive agrees to strictly abide by the terms hereof. 
 10. Source of Payments. All payments provided in Agreement
paragraphs 4 , 6, and 7 shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company, or its successors in interest, as provided herein; and no special or separate fund shall be established by the Company, and no other segregation of assets shall be
made to assure payment. Executive shall have no right, title, or interest in or to any investments which the Company may make to meet its payment obligations. 
 11. Injunctive Relief/Arbitration. The Company or Executive shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief with respect to the enforcement of the
covenants 
  

 -14- 








 and agreements set forth in Agreement paragraph 9. This remedy shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other rights or remedies to which the Company or Executive are or may be entitled at law or in equity respecting this Agreement. All other disputes or claims for relief arising from or related to this Agreement, Executive’s
employment with the Company, or the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, or as to arbitrability shall be brought and resolved in binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be
conducted under the AAA National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The Company and Executive agree that the arbitration will be conducted in Richmond, Virginia. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered only in
the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond, Virginia, or in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Richmond Division). 
 12. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any party hereto is required to engage in legal action, whether before a court of competent jurisdiction or before the American Arbitration Association,
against any other party hereto, either as plaintiff or defendant, in order to enforce or defend any of its or his rights under this Agreement, the parties shall bear their own respective legal fees and expenses in connection therewith. However, if
following a Change of Control Executive must bring a claim to enforce Executive’s rights, and such claim results in payments to Executive, then whether or not reduced to a final judgment, Executive shall be reimbursed for reasonable legal fees
incurred. 
 13. No Duty to Mitigate. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other
action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced regardless of whether Executive obtains other employment. 
 14. Federal Income Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city,
or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling. 
 15. Effect of Prior
Agreements. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. No oral statements or prior written material not specifically incorporated in this Agreement shall be of any force
and effect, and no changes in or additions to this Agreement shall be recognized, unless incorporated in this Agreement by written amendment, such amendment to become effective on the date stipulated in it. Executive acknowledges and represents
that, in executing this Agreement, he did not rely, and has not relied, on any communications, promises, statements, inducements, or representation(s), oral or written, by the Company or any of its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, or
representatives, except as expressly contained in this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior employment agreement and any contemporaneous oral agreement or understanding by or between the Company and Executive. 
 16. General Provisions. 
 (a) Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable by Executive, his beneficiaries or legal representatives, without the prior written consent of the
Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement paragraph 16(a) shall preclude (i) Executive from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefits payable hereunder upon his death, or (ii) the executors, administrators, or
other legal representatives of Executive or his estate from assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto. The Company may assign this Agreement without the consent of Executive at any time. It is expressly contemplated
that (i) at the Effective Time, the Company will assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Bank Holding Company and the Bank Holding Company will assume all of the rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement by operation 
  

 -15- 








 of law in connection with the merger of the Company with and into the Bank Holding Company
(with the Bank Holding Company surviving), and (ii) immediately thereafter, the Bank Holding Company will assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank will assume all of
the rights and obligations of the Bank Holding Company under this Agreement in writing. 
 (b) No
Attachment. Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment,
levy, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect. 
 (c) Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and Executive and their respective heirs, successors, assigns, and legal representatives. 
 (d) No Bar. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action against the Company
shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of Executive’s covenants, obligations, or undertakings in this Agreement. 
 (e) No Conflicting Obligations. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that his execution of this Agreement and performance of employment-related obligations and duties for the Company will
not cause any breach, default, or violation of any other employment, non-disclosure, confidentiality, non-competition, or other agreement to which Executive may be a party or otherwise bound. 
 Moreover, Executive hereby agrees that he will not use in the performance of such employment-related obligations and duties
for the Company or otherwise disclose to the Company any trade secrets or Confidential Information of any person or entity (including any former employer) if and to the extent that such use or disclosure may cause a breach or violation of any
obligation or duty owed to such employer, person, or entity under any agreement or applicable law. 
 17. Modification and
Waiver. 
 (a) Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing, signed by the parties hereto, and which specifically refers to this Agreement. 
 (b)
Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver
or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition
for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived. 
 18. Severability. If for any reason any provision
of this Agreement is held invalid, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator shall modify the provision(s) (or subpart(s) thereof) to make the provision(s) (or subpart(s) thereof) and this Agreement valid and enforceable. Any invalid provision
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement 
  

 -16- 








 shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so
invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. 
 19. Headings. The headings of the Agreement paragraphs are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the
meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 20. Governing Law. This Agreement has been
executed and delivered in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and its validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 
 21. Rights of Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any

Compensation law, rule, policy, or regulation.

 9. No Admission of Liability. No part of this Release or any action on the part of any party in resolving this matter with the other

 10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and by any one or more of the following means: (i) if mailed by prepaid certified mail, return receipt requested, at any time other than during a general discontinuance of postal service due to strike, lockout or otherwise, such notice

 11. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Legality and Severability. The Parties covenant and agree that the provisions contained herein are reasonable and are not known
or believed to be in violation of any federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision (or subpart thereof) to be illegal or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court shall
modify the provision(s) (or subpart(s) thereof) to make the provision(s) (or subpart(s) thereof) and this Release valid and enforceable. Any illegal or unenforceable provision (or subpart thereof) shall otherwise be severable and shall not affect
the validity of the remainder of such provision and any other provision of this Release. 
 (b) Entire Agreement. This
Release constitutes the entire understanding between the Parties regarding the subject matters addressed herein and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements between the Parties. The Bank has not made any promises, representations, or
agreements of any kind to Executive in consideration for entering into this Release beyond those expressly set forth in this Release. 
 (c) Modification, Governing Law. This Release can only be modified by a writing signed by the Parties, and shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to the choice
of law provisions thereof. 
 (d) Review and Voluntariness of Release. The Parties acknowledge that they have had the
opportunity to consult with legal counsel of their choice, that they have in fact read and do understand such provisions, and that they have voluntarily entered into this Release. The Parties agree that this Release shall be construed as drafted by
both of them, as parties of equivalent bargaining power and not for or against either of them as drafter. 
 (e)
Non-Waiver. The failure of the Parties to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Release or to exercise any rights or remedies will not be construed as a waiver by either the Bank or Executive to assert or rely
upon any such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance. 
 (f) Assignment. The Bank may assign this
Release or the obligations of Executive without Executive’s prior written consent and approval, if the Bank is ever sold or otherwise substantially conveyed either by way of a merger, stock sale, or by way of a sale of assets. Other than the
foregoing permitted assignments, this Release shall not be assigned without the consent of the other Party. This Release shall also be binding upon and benefit the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives,
executors or assigns. 
 (g) No Bar. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action
against the Bank shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Bank of Executive’s covenants, obligations, or undertakings in this Release or any other agreement. 
 (h) Offset. Executive authorizes the Bank to offset against any amount(s) otherwise payable to Executive under this Release
(i) the replacement costs, as of the date of replacement, of any Bank property not returned by Executive and (ii) any amount of any other debt owed by Executive to the Bank.

 (i) Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that it would be difficult to calculate
the Bank’s damages from his breach of this Release, and that money damages would therefore be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, upon such breach, Executive acknowledges that the Bank may seek and shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary,
and/or permanent injunctive relief against Executive, and/or other appropriate orders to restrain such breach. Nothing in this provision shall limit the Bank from seeking any other damages or relief provided by applicable law for breach of this
Release or any section or provision hereof. 
 12. Review and Revocation Rights. 
 (a) Executive acknowledges that he may have twenty-one (21) days from receipt of this Release to review and consider this Release
before signing, and that signing the Release shall constitute a waiver of any remaining balance of the twenty-one (21) day waiting period. Executive agrees that any changes to this Release do not restart the running of this twenty-one
(21) day period. Executive also acknowledges that he has hereby been advised to consult an attorney about this Release prior to its execution. 
 (b) Executive further understands that he may revoke this Release within seven (7) days from the date on which this document is executed by Executive and that this Release is not effective or
enforceable until such revocation period has expired. Revocation may be made by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Bank as described in Section 10. For this revocation to be effective, such written notice must be received by said
individual no later than midnight on the seventh day after Executive signs this Release. 
 (c) Executive further acknowledges
and understands that this Release is not effective or enforceable (and that the above referenced Payments will not commence) until such revocation period has expired. If Executive revokes this Release, this Release shall not be enforceable or
effective and Executive will not receive the benefits described in this Release. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties
hereto have executed and delivered this Release as of the date first above written.
